Language development

Now you can introduce the following vocabulary to your toddler : Monday, Tuesday,  yesterday,etc. Your toddler is now three years and six months and he is now ready to hear these words.You can simply say today is Saturday and we are going to the museum . As time goes you will just casually introduce the words. Your toddler needs to hear words for a while before he actually start paying attention to it . Now he will be going to school and when he hears these words it will not be new to his brain.
Yesterday
Your toddler is now telling your stories . He is using his memory and will tell you a story that happens  a day or two ago as if it happens today. This is an opportunity to introduce this new vocabulary "Yesterday" you can say wow you have such a good memory but we went to the zoo yesterday  and we did see the lion. Again this new vocabulary will take some time for your toddler to understand it but once he gets it that's it.
You have to do intentional teaching in order to give your toddler the skills that she needs in order to be ready for kindergarten and beyond.
